First impressions

Pro

- Very nice build quality, similar than other top chinese brands
- Perfect anodizing, no scratch etc. (HA Type-II)
- Smooth thread
- Clean reflectors, lens with perfectly centered leds
- Beautiful neutral white tint
- Excellent beam quality, very good balance (throw-flood)
- Hidden strobe mode
- Temperature control
- can run 1, 2 or 3 pcs 18650 battery (not only 4pcs)
- Relatively small size with awesome output


Con

- no memory
- visible pwm flickering low and medium mode (high mode is perfect, no pwm!), but when I use outdoor, the pwm is not too annoying, especially medium mode.


other

- simple UI, 3 modes, but not too user friendly, always low-medium-high-off

I love the terminator, but the light does not remind me of anything regarding terminator. But it looks like a nice light and nice review also.

Looks interesting. But wondering about long term reliabilty and service.
From what I see it looks like Black Shadow wants to run with the big dogs.

I wonder if anyone here can give a thumbs up or down on this fairly new company ?

Please show some beam shots of a reasonably close competitor lumen wise as comparing the Terminator to an Olight SR51 is just a joke in my book.

Porsche vs Volkswagen is just not on!



CHEERS

So expensive! Do you think the light is worth it? For that price you can get a Thrunite TN31 already.
